[QUOTE="klmno, post: 552138, member: 3699"] Actually, him advocating for himsellf is something we've had in the iep for 2-3 years and another thing this sd conveniently left out. E wants to take the sat prep class and feels he has no choice but to do whatever makeup work and grades they give him. He doesn't understand he has legal rights to certain things- he thinks he's at their mercy. He has also expressed concern about the amount of makeup work and how it will be graded, on top of having the spanish 1 grade transferring into this class. The thing is, if I "approve" this change by tomorrow then it isn't in his iep to grade things otherwise. They are saying it's the only way they'll agree to the class change. I'm saying it's an iep issue and needs to be dealt with accordingly. I've alrerady got the sd district-level people talking with the state doe about the graduation question so I hate to turn aound and also get the state Special Education people involved with the sd tomorrow morning but it looks like I might have to. I'm so sick of rogue sds in this state. Oddly enough, the one we just left, that has such a poor reputation, was the most welcoming and supporting sd E has ever been in. Now the school itself was the best in that sd, but the sd ranks pretty bad as a whole. But they were great and E loved it there. The problem was my job situation. *sigh* I want to approve the class change but make it clear that the incorporation of spanish 1 grade and/or sat make-up work grades are an iep issue. I really don't see how they can incorporate both grades for late-Aug/early Sept work since you can't be in both classes at the same time, Know what I mean?? Now if they refuse to change him any other way, what happens? The tutoring after sd won't work because E has no way home other than the bus and E says he simply CANNOT learn this. ETA: After combing thru this latest iep (from the jurisdiction we just moved from), I find that while it does mention the auditory and visual recall problems found during the previous evaluation, there are no accommodations for it. Those were in his Department of Juvenile Justice iep, from the year before. Reason being is that E had a very light course load at this last sd and they felt like with him just coming in new, there was nothing seen or immediate that would warrant accommdations for it.
